Aasma had hands that remembered the shape of things. As a child she smoothed lumps of river clay into bowls that did not crack in the sun; she braided reeds into traps that caught birds and released them safe; she mended a farmer’s broken plow with a strip of leather and a clever knot that held through a season of hard earth. People said she could see what an object wanted to be, the way some people see faces in clouds. She could not explain it. When asked, she would only smile and press a warm palm to whatever she was fixing, as if speaking to an old friend.
